Welcome

Governor Martin
O’Malley established the Task Force on Health Care Access and
Reimbursement through the passage of Senate Bill 107 during the 2007
Maryland General Assembly’s Legislative Session.

The Task Force
will examine a variety of issues related to health care access and
provider reimbursement in the State of Maryland. Key data and trends
concerning reimbursement, competition, and uncompensated care will be
examined. The issues and recommendations developed by the Task Force
are critical to Maryland’s efforts to implement health care reform and
improve access to health care in Maryland.

An interim
report on the findings and recommendations of the Task Force will be
reported to the Governor and General Assembly on or before December 1,
2007. A final report will be submitted on or before June 30, 2008. The
Task Force is to be chaired by the Secretary of Health and Mental
Hygiene.
